Located on Main Street in downtown Pleasanton across the street from Alberto's and Nonni's. I think it took over the Italian restaurant spot. New Peruvian restaurant. Smaller menu. Service was friendly. I liked our waiter. They have outdoor dining patio seating in front. We came during dinner time. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 out on the patio. It was a beautiful spring sunny day. Perfect for dining outside. read more

we were greeted immediately once walking in there is indoor seating and outdoor seating we sat patio. We started with the empanadas which came out very quickly. All of our drinks came out very quickly as well. All of our food dishes took no longer than 5 to 7 minutes. We had chicken empanadas and also beef empanadas very delicious flaky and buttery 5/5 Also had the salmon ceviche which i'm used to the shrimp ceviche, but the salmon ceviche with the citrus onions gave a great flavor 4/5 shredded chicken with rice and potatoes. Just wish that it had a few more potatoes with the sauce that sauce 5/5 And I had their traditional corn drink that has cinnamon on top was really good gave non-alcoholic sangria 5/5 We also ordered a vanilla latte which doesn't come sweetened so all coffees you do either have to ask for sugar on the side or they do offer vanilla syrup. We do wanna go back and try the desserts! read more

This was our second visit to Bravazo on Main Street, and it definitely didn't disappoint. If you're looking for a spot that balances quality food with impressive efficiency, this is it. The Food We explored a few different items this time: * Bravazo Scramble: This was the absolute star of the meal. It's a hearty mix of three eggs, bell peppers, hot links, and spinach, all topped with a layer of crispy cheese that really takes it to the next level. It's served with toast, a great spicy sauce, and some of the best breakfast potatoes we've had anywhere. * Chicken Salad Sandwich: Served on fresh sourdough with a house-made spicy sauce that gave it a nice kick. Very satisfying. * Latte: We ordered it extra hot with sugar-free vanilla syrup, and it was crafted perfectly. The Atmosphere & Service The ambiance in the restaurant is very pleasant--perfect for a casual downtown meal. What really stood out was the speed. The service is both fast and friendly; we were in and out in about 40 minutes, which is impressive for a sit-down meal that still feels high-quality. Bottom Line: Whether it's your first time or your second, Bravazo is a consistent winner in Pleasanton. Highly recommended for a quick yet delicious breakfast or lunch! read more

I am really committed to try and review all the great food places in downtown Pleasanton as there are many unique cuisines from all over the world that we have available to try out with many of them not being chains so its a great place to try out different foods from around the world. One such spot is Bravazo specializing in Peruvian cuisine, which I am not intimately familiar with so excuse my ignorance as this was my first experience with this type of food but if this is what I can expect I am moving Peru up my list of places to go for a food vacation! As with many of the restaurants in this downtown row of places you the interior is smaller and more intimate but definitely has a bright and clean look to it. Seats a max of 40-44 people inside I believe so it can fill up pretty fast but very comfortable and lively environment and spaced out well so you will not feel cramped which is a plus. Friendly server gave her recommendations as we were new to this place and unfortunately were out of some of the most popular items so get in earlier if you want the full selection. Was especially sad they were out of ALL their empanandas as that was the only item I was familiar with and wanted to try so they must be awesome and I need to try them out next time. You get some complimentary snack of roasted corn kernels while you check out the small but broad ranged menu. These are a great snack and I need a bag of these at home immediately now. Decided on the Aji de Gallina (shredded chicken with yellow pepper sauce) and the Pan Con Asado (tri tip sandwich). Added a fresh Passion Fruit juice which seemed to be 100% pure passion fruit and was delicious. Our dishes were served relatively quickly and we were able to dive into both with great anticipation and our expectations were exceeded immediately! The Aji de Gallina was amazing and I never knew yellow pepper could be the base of such a light but still complex flavor. Paired amazing with with the chicken and potato slices and the garlic rice was perfectly seasoned and not overpowering in anyway. Such an amazing combination of flavors and perfectly balanced so highly recommend this as a "safe" dish for those who are apprehensive on what to tackle as a first Peruvian dish, at least in my opinion. The Pan Con Asado was a meaty boy of a big sandwich and packed to the brim with meat and an assortment of veggies but the meat was the star of the show for sure. The lower bagguette base was crushed on the weight of the meat, has browns veggies and sauce and that was the only thing I wished was a bit more stable in terms of actually being able to lift the sandwich and take a proper bite out of bit as it was, it sort of fell apart under the weight of its own magnificence and I was happy to fork and knife the rest of it. A top tier sandwich but I was sort of searching for more hash browns to compliment the meat. The tri tip was more of a pulled pork type texture though so I was a bit confused but still loved every bite. Prices were fair for the food portions you get and friendly staff round out the this great lunch/brunch spot. I think I love Peruvian food just based on this first experience so far. I cannot wait to get back to this place and try some of the other dishes and hopefully get there early enough to try some Empanadas! read more

We came in on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very packed. I did see a video on this restaurant through tik tok so I was excited to try. The breakfast hot link burrito was yummy with the melted exterior cheese. I do think the hot link was a great pairing. It was a huge burrito so we had it for another meal. The empanadas were good and packed with flavor but it contained raisins and I'm not too big of a fan of those in savory dishes. Overall everything was great and I'd try other dishes during dinner time. read more

Excellent experience for a group lunch last week. The atmosphere is nice. Can be a bit loud though (echoing). The servers were nice, and explained what the dishes were. Water was refreshed often. - Orange Spice Tea: this was a unique taste, a bit spicy. - Chicha-Morada: nice refreshing taste - Maracuya-Passion Fruit Juice: also refreshing - Pan con Chicharron: this is one of their signature dishes. Did not disappoint. Crispy but tender pork slices, great aioli. - Beef Empanada: excellent - Causa: looks like a layered silo with the ingredients. Excellent taste. - Fish of the day: didn't ask diner, assume it was also good. It's not the cheapest place, but the food is well made, and tasty. Will definitely come back! read more

Everyone here was really nice despite being overloaded with orders and customers! We ordered the pan con chicharron and fettuccine with lomo saltado. The pan con chicharron was soooo good!! The perfect sandwich with a nice pepper sauce on the side. I loved the sweetness of the yam paired with the savory meat and cut with some tangy red onions!! This really hit the spot and I would come back just for it! Next up, the fettuccine with lomo saltado has a cheese sauce that wasn't too overpowering. I was surprised because I was expecting the cheese flavor to smack you in the face, but no it was subtle, yet rich. The best part of the lomo saltado next to it had to be the tomatoes because how in the world was it grilled so well, soft and bursts with flavor in your mouth?? The meat was cooked to a good medium, wasn't tough, and the sauce pulled it all together. For info purposes, the kitchen was a little backed up so there was a wait. We arrived at 1:10pm and waited for a little over an hour to be seated and order. This was a saturday, so a heads up if you're interested in visiting! I'm not letting this long wait affect my review because I came here solely for the food read more

I ordered a hot link breakfast burrito for delivery and I'm so glad I did. The burrito is huge and packed with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and spinach. It comes with an orange sauce (that had a lime taste) and that was okay. I personally enjoy super hot sauce and this was mild. My husband really loved it though. Next time, I want to try it with bacon. read more

First time trying Peruvian food last Saturday for a late lunch and everything was fantastic!! Carlos was our server and was very friendly and had excellent recommendations. We ordered the pan con chicharron, ceviche with red snapper as the fresh fish of the day, and the lomo saltado. For dessert we had the choco-lucuma trifle, per Carlos's recommendation. The pan con chicharron was my favorite! I love the combination of the slow cooked pork paired with the aioli, salsa, and sweet potato inside. The bread was toasted perfectly and was so good! I really love the taste of fresh bread! The hot sauce also really enhanced the flavor! Carlos brought us extra hot sauce because I mentioned how good it was!! (I also bought a bottle of hot sauce at the end of our meal because I loved it so much) The ceviche was fantastic! It is different from the kind of ceviche I am used to but in a good way! I love the added crunch from the corn nuts. The red snapper worked really well in this dish. The corn and sweet potato works surprisingly well in this dish. This was my boyfriend's favorite. Can't go wrong with the ceviche here! The lomo saltado is marinated filet mignon strips served with veggies and garlic rice. It was also very delicious!! I recommend you try the dish with a bite of everything at a time (rice, meat, veggies), trying the meat itself was a bit too much on its own. I forgot to ask if this dish had the option to customize its doneness, since I usually like eating steak medium rare. The meat was cooked medium well, but it was still really tender and delicious! The choco-lucuma trifle tastes like a dulce de leche mousse with chocolate fudge and a layer of a crunchy chocolate at the base. Loved the flavor combination! And it was sweet but not too sweet, which was perfect for us! I like that there is indoor and outdoor seating. They also have coffee and some pastries up front! Definitely recommend this place! Will be dreaming about the food until the next time I come back!!! read more

We came here after I saw an IG reel featuring this restaurant! All the dishes looked so good and I don't see a lot of Peruvian food in the Trivalley so definitely wanted to give this family ran restaurant a try :) What we ordered (ranked from fav to least): - Pan con chicharron $20 - Smash burger (not on the menu) - Empanada (beef) $7 - Causa $18 & Yuca a la huancaina $14 - Crispy breakfast burrito $20 (didn't try this, packed leftovers home cuz we were too full) We also tried the inka kola beverage which tasted like bubblegum and looked like Mountain Dew haha I would say def order the Pan con Chicharron!! All 3 of us liked it and ranked it as number 1. No wonder it has a star next to it on the menu. And the smash burger took us by surprise.. our server introduced it to us since it's not on the menu. They have an option to order with the fries or hash brown (next time I would get with hashbrowns since the fries aren't as crispy as I normally like to have them) The lomo soltado on the menu sounded really good too, almost ordered that but the $42 price tag made me want to save it for next visit lol read more

This place is amazing! Food is so good, the Peruvian ceviche with the large corn was so refreshing citrusy and lil spicy. Perfect start to a meal The smash burger is solid. Meaty and cheesy and with Peruvian spices for a lil kick The chicharron sandwich is my favorite! If this is your first time at Bravazo u gotta get it! The choco lucuma was a pleasant dessert. First time having lucuma and it's a nice zesty fruit. Overall this place blew my expectations, highly recommend when craving Peruvian food. read more

No wait on a Saturday around 11:30am. Parking can be semi-tough because the Pleasanton farmers market is going on in the same area. Service was great and prompt! Easy to dine in or I believe you can just order to-go at the front. For the food, we got the chicharron breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. The breakfast sandwich was great! I thought the meat wasn't super soft but it wasn't overly chewy. It had a slight crust to it. Sweet potato goes very well in the sandwich. The breakfast burrito was good but thought it would be better. Perhaps it was because we got it with chicken sausage, but it was missing something to give it the extra kick or flavor. I believe it'd be better if we added avocado and chicharron to it, but then that'd end up being $4 extra to make the burrito a whopping $24. I'd probably return to try lunch or dinner next time! read more

Bravazo opened a storefront and its amazing! My other review was for their catering services. So i wanted to try out their restaurant. Its right in downtown pleasanton and there is plenty of parking behind the building. Food was tasty as always! For an appetizer we shared one empanada - which was mistake because we shouldve gotten two! They were crispy and yummy. We had the peruvian ceviche which was super tangy and fresh. This is a must get and is one of my favorites! The lomo saltado was very flavorful and the butter rice was chefs kiss! You can tell the chef puts a lot of thought into all the dishes. Service is kind, friendly and fast! The new restaurant also has outdoor seating for warmer days. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic peruvian food! read more

I have eaten @ Bravazo several times before going to Peru. Always ordered the fried pork w/sweet potato & red onion sandwich. Delicious! Eat half, take half home. But now after visiting Peru for two weeks in May, I returned quickly to try the same artistically presented & delicious appetizer (mashed potato w/chicken) that we enjoyed in Peru. I felt like I was back in Peru again! We also ordered the mixed paella (beef, chicken, pork, shrimp & muscles). Made from scratch, it takes longer to cook but ii was the BEST paella that we have ever had! Save yourself the expense & time traveling to South America. You can taste Peru on Main Street, Pleasanton while looking at photos of lamas & Machu Picchu on the wall! Celebrate a birthday & get Peruvian fruit ice cream, a candle & song! read more

This is a cute small cafe that recently opened in Downtown Pleasanton. They've refreshed the interior to very simple and clean decor, maybe a bit too plain and on the verge of being bland. Service is adequate. And the menu options are as well. I am perplexed at this restaurant being classified as serving up Peruvian dishes when I find nearly half or more of the menu is typical American fare. My friend I ordered Avocado Toast and a Scramble. There was nothing notable or exceptional. With prices being average and everything else being as it is, I am not sure what may bring me back again. read more

We stopped by Bravazo for lunch and left feeling quite full and satisfied! We sat at one of the outside tables since the weather was quite nice and it wasn't as loud, and we got to see a lot of cute dogs walking by on Main St. FOOD // + PAN CON CHICHARRON: great flavors, yummy toasted bread with a crunchy crust, (mostly) juicy pork, and roasted sweet potato. My only, minor complaint is that some pieces of the pork seemed over-fried to the point that they were hard. + PERUVIAN TRI TIP SANDWICH: got good reviews from D! The tri tip slice was thicc. + PERUVIAN CEVICHE: J said the ceviche was delicious. Fish of the day was yellowtail, which tasted fresh and well-marinated. J also liked the combination of the giant corn, smaller toasted corn kernels, roasted sweet potato, and onions with the ceviche - lots of different textures and flavor. Portion size was a bit too much for one person (due to the acidity), but could be split with someone next time. + AJI DE POLLO/GALLINA: B really liked this dish. Garlic rice was flavorful. The sauce is very mild, and even Grandma liked the bites she had. ~ CAUSA: the only dish that disappointed was the Causa, which we got with tuna. Basically two layers of mashed potato with a tuna salad mixture in between; didn't feel particularly interesting or worth it OTHER NOTES // + One all-gender restroom at the back of the restaurant; looked clean and well-maintained. + Service was good! + We really liked the roasted salted corn kernels that they gave every table at the beginning. + We were all pretty full at the end and didn't have stomach room for dessert, though they looked good in the pics we saw. Next time, I'd like to return for their breakfast menu (which ends at 12pm on Sundays, and 11:30am the other days) and try their crispy breakfast burrito. The empanadas also looked tasty! read more

Visit & First Impressions Came across this new spot on Instagram and was excited to see a new Latino-owned business in downtown Pleasanton! We happened to be in the area and decided to pop in for a to-go afternoon coffee. The girl taking our order was friendly, and the coffee menu was simple and easy to navigate and she answered our questions. Drinks We ordered the Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte. They only offer one size, made with 4 pumps of pumpkin spice syrup. I asked for 2 pumps, and my sister got the full 4. At first glance, the lattes looked a bit too light in color, she agreed, but I thought maybe they'd still taste okay. Unfortunately, the espresso flavor was mostly lost in the amount of milk used in both our drinks. I would've preferred they use more ice instead of extra milk to make the cup look "full." As for the pumpkin spice flavor, it just wasn't there. My sister's latte (made with the full 4 pumps) tasted sweet but didn't really taste like pumpkin spice. I had a sip, and yeah it wasn't there. Mine, with 2 pumps, was even fainter but with a hint of sweetness (how I like). Not sure what syrup they're using, but the pumpkin spice flavor needs some work. Space & Service The restroom is located in the back outside, and there's only one, so there was a bit of a line. I think the owner was there, he seemed very busy, which is great. At one point, he was by the counter and I asked him if they had a trash can (for my straw wrapper) and he gestured me to hand it to him to throw away, and he didn't make eye contact or say anything, which felt like a missed opportunity to make us feel welcome for having came in. It would also help to add a trash can near the exit so people can toss wrappers or napkins easily. I didn't see one, which made it a little awkward to figure out where to throw things away. Overall I really wanted to love this place and support a new local, Latino-owned business, but the coffee fell short and the experience felt a bit impersonal. They're a new business after all so hopefully, with time and a few tweaks, it'll improve. I'll give it another shot down the line and try their food. read more

Weeknight visit had easy parking steps away from the entrance. Fairly empty restaurant that day so had choice of seats. Attentive service but that's not hard with fairly empty restaurant. Empanadas had flakiest empanada crust I've had. Missed taking pictures of the pair. Paella was decent. Not one of the ones where you'd get crispy rice but the dish was hot and cooked in serving container as I was warned it was hot. Although the menu mentions chorizo as an ingredient, I realized after that it didn't have any. Bottom layer is the rice with ingredients on top. read more

Peruvian stamp of approval for this bravazo(Peruvian slang for awesome) new restaurant in the heart of downtown Pleasanton! As we Peruanos say, eso! We celebrated my brother's birthday during our first visit. There were 8 of us and we ordered from the breakfast/brunch menu(offered until 11:30am). Most of us ordered the fresh sweet chicha morada, the pan con chicarron(aka one of the world's best breakfasts) or its sister, the Peruvian turkey sandwich. Both sammies were made with that wonderful Bravazo sauce. We all ate everything on our plates. I loved the chic ambiance, the beautiful photo prints, and the colorful video of Peruvian landscapes. Gracias to all the wonderful servers. They checked in on us frequently though it was a busy morning. We will definitely be back for lunch offerings. read more

Bravazo! Welcome to Main St and congratulations on your new opening! How exciting to have a Peruvian cuisine addition to downtown Pleasanton :) They are located right across from Alberto's Cantina with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. What a shame they close at 3:30pm and we can't visit them all day long! Chai Latte ($6) and Cappuccino ($5) were excellent, would get again with a pastry next time. Pan Con Chicharron ($20): Oh oh oh...that crispy slow cooked pork is to die for. I only tried one bite from my husband's sandwich and it was the first time I wanted his order lol Crispy Breakfast Burrito ($20): Don't get me wrong, this hit the spot too! They managed to fit a lot in the cheese crusted tortilla and I accepted the mess as soon as I went in :P Comes with their signature hot sauce which I liked! Adding the aforementioned chicharron is an extra $2 and that is 100% worth it, even if I didn't do it ha! Perfect cafe for brunch dates solo, with friends, family, all the like. It's a place for gathering and I think it was the owner who served us; his hearty welcome and energy was so lovely. I'll be back! read more

Ten out of ten stars! What in the world!!?! I was there for the lomo, but then the ceviche stole my heart. Stopped by a Sunday and was quickly greeted and ushered to my seat. Of course had the lomo anddd Carlos (what a champion!) also recommend the ceviche, which I had indeed been eye hustling. PHENOMENAL! PHENOMENAL! SIMPLY PHENOMENAL. Lomo was stellar!! Super juicy and flavorful...alas I can't remember if it came with aji. As I was horking it down with such alacrity! And the ceviche was some of the best ive ever had. I believe it was yellow tail with mild spice. What a legend of a dish! I will most certainly be back!!! Fantastic food, fantastic service, and also very clean bathroom! Winning! read more

I was so excited to find Bravazo as a Peruvian, I usually have to drive to SF or the San Mateo area to find good Peruvian food, so having a spot closer to home is such a blessing. I actually found Bravazo through a TikTok video and decided to check it out, and I'm really glad I did. It was our first time visiting and we came during a busy time, so there was a bit of a wait for our food, but it was completely worth it. They start you off with canchita and water, which immediately made it feel authentic and welcoming. I ordered the passion fruit juice, and it was amazing you can tell it was freshly made. I also ordered the ceviche, added calamari, and asked for it spicy (because that's the only way ceviche should be eaten). From the first bite, the flavor was incredible fresh, bold, and perfectly seasoned. This is easily one of my new favorite places for ceviche. My mom ordered the pan con chicharrón, and the meat was super tender and flavorful. It paired perfectly with the hot sauce they gave her. What really stood out to me is that this is a family-owned restaurant, and the father is the chef. You can tell he truly loves what he does the care and passion really come through in the food. We'll definitely be coming back to try the lomo saltado and anticuchos. Highly recommend supporting this newer spot if you're craving authentic, well-made Peruvian food. read more

Finally got around to trying this brand new spot in Pleasanton for some breakfast! To get straight into it they have a very friendly staff who greets you as soon as you enter. It's a small family ran restaurant that you can tell is patriotic about their culture and can express it through the quality of their food! The interior is small but they made the most of their space available it's very beautiful design inside. Now for the food it was just me so I got a beef empanada and the Lima garden egg scramble The empanada was to put it simply, perfect. It had a boiled egg in there and the beef is so flavorful and tender I had to order some more to go and would even comeback for them alone. The egg scramble was loaded with peppers and mushrooms they were heavy handed with toppings and pretty big portion, the potato's were crispy and really like the sour dough. THE HOT SAUCE IS AMAZING DONT FORGET IT!! I was able to meet the owner/head chef and I can say that Mauricio and Luis are amazing guys with a work ethic that's lost nowadays. Bravazo is a perfect fit for the Pleasanton scenery and can't wait to comeback to try their dinner menu. read more

Tried this place out with a friend after she sent me a reel about this restaurant. She said she bought the hot sauce from the Farmer's Market and loved it. It's along downtown Pleasanton and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The place is cute and homey, perfect to hang out with friends, family, or a date. There was plenty of space when we went for a weekday at 11:30. They let us order from either the breakfast or lunch menu, even though the menu said breakfast ends at 11:30. The menu isn't very big but the food all sounded delicious so I had a hard time deciding but we settled on sharing the Pan Con Chicharron Sandwich, Beef Empanda, and Lomo Saltado. I also ordered the Chicha Morada, a Peruvian purple corn drink that reminded me of fall with the cinnamon flavor. It was really refreshing on a warm day. Of the food options, it was all delicious but the Pan Con Chicharron Sandwich was the standout. The flavors and texture were so good and worked so well together. It was unlike other sandwiches I had before so I'd recommend trying it out! Next time I come here, I would get the burrito or ceviche! The service was great, I believe it was the owners or managers who were going around checking on us and making sure everything was good.

Wow! I'm so excited to have a Peruvian restaurant closer to home. My partner is Peruvian, and we're always on the lookout for great Peruvian spots around the Bay, so I was thrilled when I found out about this place and practically ran to check it out. The restaurant has a modern, fresh feel with Peruvian photos on the walls and scenes of Miraflores, Peru on the TV. Nice interior and ambiance. The food was delicious!! We started with papa a la huancaína and ceviche. Both were tasty, very traditional, and beautifully presented. For our mains, we ordered the lomo saltado and ají de gallina. I asked for the filet mignon medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. The sauces on both dishes were amazing. I honestly couldn't choose which one I liked better, they were both great. For dessert, we shared the choco-lúcuma trifle and ate every last bite. So good! Service was prompt and friendly. We also met the owner, who was very nice. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. I usually have to drive almost an hour for Peruvian food, but not anymore! Can't wait to come back to try the pan con chicharrón!! read more
